University of Washington leaders recently broke ground on a molecular engineering building, the location of which was chosen partly because the natural vibration and electromagnetic interference are low at that site. Researchers will be making very sensitive measurements and any movement can interfere with the accuracy. The foundation will incorporate an extra-thick concrete slab and shielding from electromagnetic waves, and the building’s utilities and elevators are engineered to minimize physical vibrations in the lab space.Visit the University of Washington website for more information.
